What should I do when the Empty sets in? <br />No one will tell me, because they don't understand. <br />Just puzzled looks, a suggestion for therapy <br />In a helpful or caustic way. <br />How do I traverse this void <br />When I have no bridges <br />How do I explain the feeling of nothing <br />To those who don't need to feel anything <br />Like explaining the color blue <br />To a blind man <br />How to explain the craving and hunger never fulfilled <br />To those who would eat anything <br />How to explain loneliness to those <br />Who would content themselves in the company of statues <br />How to explain the want of love enduring <br />To those who only know it as mere infatuation <br />To be acted upon when convienient <br />And thrown away at whim <br />How to explain this Empty <br />The aching reality <br />The hope for something new and different and wanted <br />That shall only take place in daydream scenarios <br />Those dream people who shall love me <br />Those dream promises that we will make <br />Those dream worlds we shall live in <br />For mere seconds <br />Until reality sets in <br />Destroying all in its wake <br />Crumbling castles, knights topple from their horses <br />And I <br />The only survivor of that dominion <br />Am left to survey the devastation <br />From this tower <br />Suddenly surrounded by a world not quite right <br />The denizens of which, never show their true feelings <br />I can sometimes see the Empty behind their eyes <br />See through love, see through promises <br />They drift away, tumbled on wind, like cutout dolls <br />Like their words were never spoken <br />I never touched them <br />They say <br />My fingerprints, almost imperceptible blemishes <br />Our conversations forgotten <br />I am but a ghost in their world, from a time of truth <br />Truth and love, they don't care to know <br />I am so lost and lonely <br />For want of a kindred spirit <br />Soon I shall become totally empty <br />Too<br /><br />Kosova Poems<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-empty-2/
